D5/T3 or DDC3.25/XSPC res TOP x2 or RD-30?

[kone]

My current Loop is DDC3.25/XSPC res->TC PA12.3->HK V3.0->Res

I want add an Feser X-Changer 360 in this loop,

Loop PUMP->Feser X-Changer 360->HK V3.0->TC PA12.3->Res

go to D5/T3 or DDC3.25/XSPC res TOP x2 or RD-30 ?

any suggest?

thanks

Dual DDC3.25s or RD-30 at ~18-20V :)

Dual DDC3.25s is probably the better option :p:

(no need for dual res tops, get a res top and a regular top)

All you're doing is adding a radiator - a low restriction radiator at that. If you really don't think you've got enough pumping power, add a second DDC pump in series, but nothing I'm seeing in your loop suggests that it's actually needed.

The T3 and XSPC dual DDCs res are really meant to run parrellel loops with 1 loop for GPU and 1 loop for CPU.

I'm running my T3 with 1 loop for rad only and other loop are the CPU and GPU blocks. My temps are solid, but for temps, I don't see the T3 alone improving your temps by doing what I did.

Ok, Well,
I decide go to get more DDC3.25 w/Xspc top for series.

Which way will better ?
DDC3.25/XSPC res top->Feser X-Changer 360->HK V3.0->TC PA12.3->DDC3.25 w/Xspc top
or
DDC3.25/XSPC res top->DDC3.25 w/Xspc top->Feser X-Changer 360->HK V3.0->TC PA12.3
or
other way?

thanks

I would go second way put the restop before the second pump.

There shouldn't be any difference in those two orders. Do whichever ones makes the tubing routing easier/simpler.

Wouldn't having the restop before the second pump be better?

No matter which order, the loop will still have two identical pumps, one with a top, the other with a restop, and their combined pumping curves will still add together to create the same net effect. And as always with a single loop, flowrates will remain constant at all points throughout the entire loop.

So, barring some other variable that hasn't yet been mentioned, there shouldn't be any difference between the two arrangements. A case of "A+B = B+A", you might say. So you may as well choose the arrangement that's easiest to route/manage

I'm not worried about performance as much as bleeding. I was just thinking that the whole res before pump includes both pumps. :shrug:

[MpG]

I can't see that affecting how the loop bleeds either. A constant flowrate through the entire loop includes a constant flowrate through the restop, so the loop should take equally long to bleed in either configuration. And you'd only want to be running one pump to start, until the loop is mostly full of water, at which point it doesn't matter where the other pump is in relation to the restop'd pump.

Thanks, that is what I was getting at. That makes sense. :up:
